Warnings are mostly turned off for not unimportant places like libraries
since these places are too poorly written to compile without warnings.

This bug was caught in PR 42384. The fix in the PR is not so good.
libmd is also broken for some cases involving pipes. IIRC, this is
caused by the bogus st_size checks in the same function. st_size is
only valid for regular files.
The loop in the function fails to to terminate if read() returns 0,
which can probably happen if the file shrinks underneath us.
